 AB    Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can infect various cell
       lines in culture and be maintained in a chronic state of restricted
       replication. These states of proviral latency are characterized by a
       predominance of spliced compared to unspliced viral RNA species. The
       proximate molecular mechanisms leading to restricted HIV-1 replication
       may differ in various cell lines. Importantly, recent studies have
       demonstrated that the site of integration is the critical parameter
       leading to proviral latency in ACH-2 cells. Utilizing murine retroviral
       shuttle vectors, the HIV-1 Tat protein was demonstrated to dramatically
       increase HIV-1 expression in the restrictively infected U1 monocytic
       cell line but not in the ACH-2 T-lymphocytic line. The HIV-1 Rev protein
       only modestly increased viral expression in both of these cell types.
       Thus, these data support the hypothesis that the mechanisms which
       initiate and/or maintain restricted HIV-1 expression may differ in
       various cell types in cell culture, and possibly in vivo.
